Holy or Spy Wednesday?

Day 37 Doxology:  To be clear the personable post garner the most clicks, and those post that have a creative image to project even do much better.  In full disclosure, I don't have a creative image for today's doxology.

Today is the heart of Holy Week.  In fact, today is labeled as Holy Wednesday or Spy Wednesday depending on your perspective.  It seems odd that the two polar opposite decryptions of today could incase what today means for the world, or at least you or me.    I guess that is at the heart of today's picture-less doxology.

If you lean toward Holy Wednesday then you are in good company.  Then maybe you remember that Jesus met with the disciples for meal while Mary anointed his head and feet with very expensive oil.  This started a chain-reaction of events that led to Jesus' betrayal.

If Spy Wednesday is your choice then you lean to the attention of the latter part of the story -Judas making plans that would cement the rest of the week in world history.

In either case, Jesus is the main character and the center of our focus!

In thinking about our (my) different perspective, I couldn't help but to think that how we understand issues based on our point of view in addressing them.  For instance, if I identify as liberal..then I look at how this current administration is failing the public that would never had voted him in office to begin with.

If I am republican, then my attention is on how the current administration is never given a fair shake.

Here is what I am certain...Jesus was never a Republican or Democrat, and hatred is not bias!  Howard Thurman called it the "Hounds of Hell" that would not discriminate.  Thurman's meaning is angered prejudism will forever hunt you down and infect all areas of your life.

So, during a time of Church and Christian revival, how can we follow Christ's example of the love for God and neighbor?

Maybe that makes us lean toward Holy Wednesday rather than Spy Wednesday, but really it's up to you!
